Transitplus, formerly Hills Transit, was an Australian bus service operator in Adelaide. It operated services as part of the Adelaide Metro network under contract to the Department of Planning, Transport & Infrastructure. It was a 50/50 joint venture between Australian Transit Enterprises and TransAdelaide.
Hills Transit was founded in 1995 during the privatisation of TransAdelaide's bus network as a joint venture between TransAdelaide and Australian Transit Enterprises operating services from the Adelaide central business district to the Adelaide Hills.[1][2][3][4] In May 2000 it was renamed Transitplus.[5][6][7][8]
Following the winding up of TransAdelaide on 30 June 2010, Australian Transit Enterprises took full ownership and integrated Transitplus into its SouthLink operation.[9][10][11]
